Last chancefor Reduced Shakespeare

Breathlessly-paced slapstick merriment  The New York Times

They've skewed history, the Bible, and the world's most celebrated playwright. Now, the Bad Boys of Abridgment, the Reduced Shakespeare Company, are back with The Complete History of Comedy (Abridged) next Wednesday, May 11, at 7:30pm in our Carriage House Theatre.

Using humor that ranges from the high-brow to the low, this hilarious new show tackles the evolution of comedy through the ages, covering Aristophanes, Shakespeare, Charlie Chaplin, The Daily Show, and plenty more. Its the topic they were born to reduce!

In their own words: Tickets to The Complete History of Comedy (Abridged) are far more affordable than tickets to an amusement park, but youll come away with the same feeling of nausea and motion sickness!

Tickets still remain, but time is running out to get yours! Click below or call the box office at 408-961-5858.

Be on the lookout for our 2016-2017 Carriage House Concert season schedule being released later this month! If you weren't invited to our announcement party, call Chris Wilcox at 408-961-5849 to become a member and receive your invitation.

Juan Jaula es John CageMusician's work reimagined in film screening & conversation May 13

Join us for an evening film screening in our Carriage House Theatre on Friday, May 13, from 6-9pm. The movie, Juan Jaula es John Cage, is a fascinating, non-traditional documentary made by video artist Zen Cohen.

The 40-minute film documents Mexican composer Guillermo Galindos confrontation of his musical heritage and education against taboos of the musical avant-garde by rehearsing with a Mariachi band to perform a John Cage score. It debuted last year at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.

After the screening, enjoy a conversation with Cohen and Galindo led by Bay Area curator Julie Lazar. You'll also have a chance to meet the artists over a glass of wine in a reception following the event.

For more information about this exciting project and to watch a preview of the film, visit Cohen's website here. Tickets to this Open Access event are just $10, $5 for students, and FREE for Montalvo members. Click below to purchase or call the box office at 408-961-5858 10am-4pm Monday-Friday.
